## Description

Traditional ship's clock with bell strikes, compass, tides and weather — now for iPad too.

216 Bells is a maritime ship's clock following the traditional bell-striking system used at sea.

Every 30 minutes the ship's bell rings — from 1 to 8 bells — just like on board a real vessel. The app displays the current watch, the bell count, and a classic brass compass with GPS bearing and position.

FEATURES
• Analog ship's clock with bell count display
• Traditional watch names (Middle Watch, Morning Watch, Forenoon Watch …)
• Vintage brass compass with GPS compass rose
• UTC time and date
• Sunrise and sunset arc
• Tide preview (high and low water)
• Weather with wind direction, Beaufort scale and barometric pressure trend
• Background bell notifications — even when the screen is locked
• Configurable quiet hours (e.g. at night)
• SOS strobe light (Morse · · · — — — · · ·)
• German and English

216 Bells — for everyone who loves the sea.
